Binnen tien jaar gaan Chinese accountantskantoren de strijd aan met de dominantie van de grootste spelers op de accountantsmarkt. Dat is de verwachting van CEO Geoff Barnes van Baker Tilly International. Barnes uitte deze verwachting tijdens een conferentie in Beijing, waar 250 vertegenwoordigers van Baker Tilly wereldwijd vertegenwoordigd waren.

Barnes vertelt: ‘The accounting profession in China is relatively young but it is on an accelerated upward trajectory; it is not unrealistic to expect a number of Chinese firms to be challenging the dominance of established international networks in the near future. Recent regulation mandating that audit firms are comprised of a minimum of 60% of Chinese partners by 2014 will encourage domestic firms to speed up the cultivation of talented Chinese professionals with the international vision, skills and experience that the market expects. At Baker Tilly China we are some way ahead in this regard – all of our senior partners and management team are Chinese nationals – and our active programme of secondments is providing newly qualified CPAs with valuable international experience.'

Volgens de CEO van Baker Tilly International speelt de harmonisatie van internationale verslaggevingsregels de Chinezen hierbij in de kaart: ‘Great progress has been made towards the convergence of national and international accounting standards, which is helping Chinese firms to meet international requirements, and boosting the overseas development of Chinese companies.'
